Ice Hockey Team Travels to Columbus for ACHA National Tournament

Georgia Tech’s club ice hockey team will travel to Columbus, Ohio, this week to compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division Three National Tournament.

Is it the team’s first time advancing to the tournament in more than 10 years.

The tournament, which takes place March 13–15, is the culmination of a breakout season for the Yellow Jackets that included an 18-4-1-1 record. Notable wins included two victories in the ACHA South Regional Tournament and winning the Scholar Shootout and ACC-South Challenge. The team only had four wins last year.

The team’s vice president and goalie, Caleb Rudnicki, says that much of this season’s improvement is due to “team cohesiveness” and retaining players.

“We did a lot better about keeping guys around this year,” he said. “It means a lot to the older guys to make it this far.”

This is the first time that the team has traveled outside of the Southeast for a tournament. Rudnicki says that while there are a lot of unknowns, the team is still confident.

While in Columbus, players will also be volunteering at an elementary school — teaching, talking about, and playing pickup hockey with the students.

The team will provide updates throughout the tournament on Twitter @GT_Hockey. The league will be live streaming all of the games for free on YouTube.

A recent study conducted by researchers from Emory University and Georgia Tech found that an infectious passenger with influenza or other droplet-transmitted respiratory infection will most likely not transmit infection to passengers seated farther away than two seats laterally and one row in front or back on an aircraft. The study was designed to assess rates and routes of possible infectious disease transmission during flights.
